Bishop Urges Positive LentCentered on God, not Self

Past Lents' were rigorous. They stressed fast iwd penance. But most of the timewas spent on the individual and his problems. But come Easter, the relief of penanceall too often re::-urrected the "old man" in::>tead of a better Christian. The new Lent ismore positive.

That is whyprayer means mOl;e than penance, and faith is better tha~fear. '''For we walk by Faith and not by sight."

. LE~TEN REGULATIONS.According'to toe decision of the Bishops of the United

States the following is to be followed during Lent concern­ing fast and abstinence:

".... FoIlowiing the instructions of the Holy See,we declare that th~ obligation both to fast and to abstainfrom meat, an obligation observed under a more strictformality by our fathers in :the faith, still binds on AshWednesday and Gd.od Friday: "

"In keeping with the letter and spirit of Pope Paul's,Constitution 'Let its do Penance', we preserve for ourdiocese the traditio~ of abstinence from meat ,on each of'·the Fridays of Len't, confident that no Catholic Christianwill lightly h6rd ~imself excused from this penitentialpractice." I

For all other \veekdays of Lent, we strongly recom­mend participation I in daily Mass and Communion daily

. I 'visits to church and the Blessed Sacrament, the Way ofthe Cross, the recitation of the Rosary in church or as aFamily Devotion iA the home. Other recommended prac­tices would be almkgiving, visits to the sick in homes orhospitals, participation in such programs as Confraternityof Christian Doctdne, etc,. All of these are indicative of apositive attitude, ah attempt to grow with Christ in thelove and service of Christ.

Obligation to f1ulfill the Easter duty may be satisfiedfrom Sunday, February 23, the First Sunday of Lent,until June 1, Trinity Sunday.

Some priests have questionedthe large size of the board­nine members. The Archdiocescof New York, with five timesmore priests, has a PersonnelBoqrd of five.

In the Diocese of .Fall Riverthe Bishop knows each of thepriests and the priests may seethe Bishop whenever they wish.The Bishop personally opens allmail addressed to him 'and whenhe is out of the city this mailis forwarded to him unopened.

This easy access to the Bishophas made many priests feel thatthe need of a Personnel Boardis not as pressing in this Dioceseas in some larger ones.

The Personnel Board has metat least a dozen times since lastJune. It is well known that, un­fortunately, not all board mem­bers were invited to all of thesemeetings.

Just last month the Senate ofpriests directed that the Per­sonnel Board Director draw up

. for the Bishop a list of thosepriests who may wish to pursuefurther studies in particularfields of the apostolate. The di­rector was 'also to obtain recom- .mendations along these linesfrom various diocesan agencies'heads. This concrete service tothe priests and the Diocese isbeing awaited by the Senate andtho Bishop.

In a related move, Father·Claude Wiegand, executive di­rector of the Diocesan humanrelations commission, said fourworkshops on poverty, and racewill be held for the laity duringLent.

The two priests announced thedecisions at a diocesan teachers'conference {In .race, held a,t YorkHigh School here.

The intrOduction 'Of materialon race into the curriculum isnot expected to begin duringthis school year because the sub­ject matter still must 'be as­sembled and the ·teachers pre­pared. However, the schoolshave already ·been providedwith ,bibliographies on Negroculture for use by teachers.

The material will ,be morethan an introduction to blackhistory, Father Shaull said.What we want is a. real, trueChristian understanding, open­heartedness and empathy - allthe good things that a Christianbrings to any minority group."

The workshops on race andpoverty for the laity will beheld in eight areas of the dio­cese, which still are to be an­nounced. Another series will beheld after Lent.

There will be one workshopa week in each area for f{lurweeks, beginning the first weekin March. Each workshop will'be two hours long, with onehour for presentation of thetopic and another hour for dis­cussion and summarization.

The subjects will be "Profileof Our Community," "Ethnic,Race and Class Discrimination,""Religion and Human Relations"and "Human Resources and

'Community Planning.""We're going to direct our at­

tention especially to the leadersin the parishes," Father Wie­gand t old the teachers. "Thecommission has in mind tryingto reach those people who areunable to reach others."

The missionary, who has beenstationed in Biafra for the lastseven years, bmught to themeeting recorded interviewswith Bishop Joseph Whelan,C.S.Sp., of Owerri, and otherkey workers in the strickenprovince.

In the recordings the bishop,priests, nuns and other workersreported a critical shortage ofsupplies, a worsening of malnu­trition and outbreaks of vari<lUsdiseases.

Bishop Whelan said if the air­lift ,was stopped it would meanthe quasi extinction of a greatnation.

One night, he recounted, theattack on the airport was sosevere ,that six planes flying re­lief supplies were forced to turnback to the IPortu'guese island,Sao Tome, off the African coast,the base from which relief sup­pIles are assembled and airliftedto Biafra. '

, Ontario to StartEducation Program

TORONTO (NC)-An Onta­rio-wide program to stimulatediscussion on solutions to thequestion of providing a continu­ous education for Catholic chil­dren, kindergarten to grade 13,is expected to be launched Feb.16. It is being called Phase Twoof the Provincial EducationProgram (PEP Plan). '

This phase will be diocesan­oriented and will involve notonly Catholic education organi­zations, but also such groupsas the Catholic Women's League,Knights of Columbus, st. Vin­cent de Paul Society, Council ofCatholic Men and concerned in­dividuals. Each diocese will de­sign its own program.

Among the proposais to in­form the Catholic laity of theneed for a continuous educa­ti~mal program, approved lastyear at ,the provincial conven­tion of the Ontario SeparateSchool Trustees' Association,will ,be a series of bulletinswhich could be distributed onsix successive Sundays in eachparish.

NEW YORK (NC) - Severefamine continues to stalk amongthousands in the .rebellious Biaf­ra province, while bombing' ofrelief Iplanes carrying food andother relief supplies into thearea has been stepped up byNigeria.

The latest assessment of theBiafra-Nigeria civil war wasmade here by Father DermotDoran, C.S.Sp., Irish missionary,at the first ,regional meeting ofthe 23rd annual American Cath­olic Overseas Aid Fund Appealconducted under the auspi'ces ofthe U.S. Catholic bishops.

Addressing representatives 'ofEastern archdioceses and dio­ceses .in this country at themeeting sponsored by CatholicRelief Services, Father Doran,recently returned from a fact­finding tour of Biafra, reportedthe famine has grown into ana·ppalling problem.

Completely Dependent

"People are still dying in large. numbers," he said. "Should the

relief supplies be cut off therewould be disaster.

"The Biafrans now are com­pletely dependent upon the re­lief airlift. If it is stopped for aweek, or even for a few nights,countless children would havelittle chance of survival," hecontinued.

The meeting was held at atime when news dispatches re­ported the heaviest fighting inthe Nigeria-Biafra civil 'war hadbroken out since the Nigeria ad­vance stalled last October. Thereports said the Biafrans hadlaunched attacks in four sectors,but the Nigerian army commu-

Prelates ExpressHopes for Unity

SAN FRANCISCO (N C) ­Archbishop Joseph T. McGuckenof San Francisco joined withGreek Orthodox Bishop Meletiosin expressing hopes for a unionbetween their two faiths for thesake of Cfiristian Unity aroundthe world, ina solemn ecumen­ical~service here.

Archbishop McGucken partic­ipated in a doxology held in theGreek Orthodox cathedral here.The service also commemoratedthe 20th anniversary of the ele­vation of Ecumenical PatriarchAthenagoras I of Constantinople(Istanbul) as supreme head ofworld aOrthodoxy.

Archbishop McGucken re­ferred to Patriarch Athenagorasas a "venerated" leader, andpraised him for his long devo­tion and work for the cause of"all Christians." He recalled thatthe Patriarch had communicatedwith the late Pope John XXIIIand, later, met with Pope PaulVI in Jerusalem, in Istanbul andin Rome, to promote the ecu­menical movement.

Laym'en DirectSt. Paul DriveFor Funds

ST. PAUL (NC)-Coad:jutor Archbishop Leo C.Byrne of. St. Paul and Min­neapolis said that a plannedarchdiocesan fund raising cam­paign is under the direction of"responsible Catholic laymen"who will "work out the alloca­tions and priorities."

The archbishop's statementcame in a response to a requestfrom the Association of Chris­tians for Church Renewal (ACCR) that open hearings be heldon the proposed $3.5 miollionfund drive-called the Archbish­ops' Appeal-in an effort tolearn how the money will beallocated.

The request was containedin a letter to Archbishop Byrnefrom Russell Sudeith, ACCRpresident.

ACCR is an independent or­ganization of Twin Cities Cath­olic laymen which earlier de­manded a disclosure of archdio­cesan financial records as a prel­ude to the fund drive.

A statement by the organiza­,tion said "a large share' of pro­ceeds" from the drive "must beused to reach out to the realproblems of people rather thanfor the perpetuation of inwardlydirected institutional !forms."

Prelate RepliesIn its latest request, ACCR

suggested that 10 to 12 hearingsbe scheduled and that they beattended by the archbishop, rep­resentatives of his finance com­mittee, and of the CommunityCounseling Service, a profes­sional fund raising firm whichis assisting in the campaign.

Archbishop Byrne said in astatement of response:

"Let me state that the officersof Community Counseling Ser­vice inform me that in the cam­paign schedule there will be op­portunities for the laity to learnin detaH the various facets ofthe case and the organizationalplans for the Archbishops' Ap­peal.

"Allow me to inform youagain, Mr. Sudeith, that this isa campaign which has been re­quested by laymen, and is un­der the direction of laymen whoare interested in the needs ofeducation and the poor in thearchdiocese of St. Paul and Min­neapolis. A!; responsible Catho­lic laymen, they will work outthe allocations and priorities."

CEF Backs TuitionGrants to Parents

ST. PAUL (NC)-The Minne­sota state convention of CitiZellsfor Educational Freedom (CEF),bolstered by an unusually largeattendance, went on record asfavoring tuition grants to par­ents of 'nonpublic school chil­dren.

Delegates .to the tWO-day stateconvention voted to supportgrants in regard to both gradeand high school students" andalso advocated higher grants forneedy families.

~lrg~s Aid,Continued from p~gc QneSeibert says that although

Catholic school students wouldbe the principal benefactors,"the bill has no religious conno­tation to it." He noted thatCatholic parents, "while ofcourse not compelled to, arepaying taxes to support publicschools and are also paying tu­itions to support their ownCatholic schools in order to keepthem in operation,"

Seibert described the Ifill <IS

u a ne'oV concept, highly contro­versial, but it is also a conceptthat ,faces up to thp. realities ofa part of our educational prob­lems, and one which should befaced realistically not only bycitizens but by our educators aswell as our legislators."

Boiarsky thinks the proposedlegislation would cost from $4 to$5 million a year, "certainlycheaper to 'permit Catholicschools to particiPClte in thestate aid formula than it wouldbe to absorb all' parochial schoolstudents in public schools."

He stressed he is aware of noconstitutional ban against al­lowing Catholic students toshare in tax money 'and that thelegislature could legally approvethe bill. .

Father Robert H. Wanstreets,Wheeling diocesan superintend­ent of schools, said he is happyto know "our legislators recog­nize the contribution beingmade by the Catholic schoolsand are concerned with ourgrowing financial burdens."

Burden of YearsFather Wanstreet said he

would make "one important dis­tinction" in considering the bill,emphasizing that the aid envi­sioned "is not meant for' theCatholic schools directly but forthe pupils and their parents.

It is not a matter of seekingto support Catholic schools, headded, but of "insuring the rightof parents'to decide where andhow their children will be eau­cated.

"The Catholic community has,up to now, borne the financial'burden of our schools, and fora long period, of time.;o'~, Thiseducation, at least in secularsubjects, has been provided inharmony with the legal require­'ments of the state," Father Wan­street pointed out.

Alternative Results"However, in the face of the

natural and legitimate rise ineducational costs, we dq not seehow the Catholic communitycan continue to finance this op­eration without some form of as­sistance from other private orpublic sources. Without somekind of help we may be forcedto a drastic reappraisal of oursystem which might>:> .;. evennecessitate the closing of certainschools.

"If we were compelled to takesuch steps, there would be noplace else for these children togo put to an already overbur­dened, overtaxed public schoolsystem,", Father Wanstreet said .The Wheeling Diocese has 57Catholic schools enrolling morethan 13,000 students.

University' a,,,,d' Tyranr,y'Recent rumblings have been' heard on· the campus

of the Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institutethat have aroused dismay in the hearts of almost" allcitizens of Southeast~rn Massachusetts and' ,of their sonsand daughters who look to this University as a key to abetter future for themselves and for the entire area.

A small group :of less than one hundred studentsseems bent on creat~ng chaos that will endanger the ed­ucational rights of the 2,700 students in the University.

People of the area should indicate to the Universitythat as the ones who: pay the bill for the University theywill not countenance ithe tyra.nny of a. ~i!lOrity.

A college-any college-Is by defInItIOn an unequalsociety. There are those who know and those who do notand who come to college to' :learn.

In any college, there are three segments~students

who have a right, OIice accepted, to be taught and coun­selled and this in ani environment conducive to learning-:faculty members ~hb must, be competent and who areengaged in teaching with dedication and professionalism;and an administration which must' provide atmosphereand personnel and tobls for the teaching-learning processto take place. I '

Each of these three segments has its duties and re­sponsibilities. There must be open communication among­all three so that from a candid exchange of views allthree, students and faculty and administration, wiII makeprogress in excellenc~. ,

But one segment must not cross over and try to doth.e work legititrlately belonging to another group. If fac­ulty members went to take courses instead of teaching, ifadministrators stoppe,d off in class to tell professors 'howto mark students, if students try to hire and fire facultymembers, then the cbllege society breaks down and theteaching-learning process grinds to a halt.

Ifstu~ents arrogate to themselves the right to hireand fire professors, then, by the same reasoning, faculty

I -

members may decide :Whom they will or will not teach.As has been insisted upon, students and faculty and

administration must constantly dialogue .with one another.In this way administrators can add another dimension'" totheir knowledge of t~e effectiv~ness of the teacl1ing andlearning process, students and faculty can become aware

, of the over-all development and needs and- progress of theuniversity, and students can know better that the wholepurpose of the univer~ity structure and organization is toprofit him and ~he commUl).ity. .

Another voice must be added to these three. The tax­payer is the"one payiqg the"bills for SMTI. He must makehis voice heard and i~sist that no small minority has theright to bring this University to a halt. The tyranny ofthe minority must not lead to the deprivation of 'educationto the majority. I

As Lent Approach.esWith the comjng :of Lent, thoughts -turn again to the

road that each Christ'ian as an individual and the Chris­tian community as a g.roup must walk with and to Christ..

Catholics have seen in recent years the Church-imposedpenances lifted in favor of self-imposed penances. The ideaof penance itself cannot be alien to the Christian sinceChrist has said, "Unless you do penance, you will perish."

I

But now the Chri,stian is given the 'benefit of being a'somewhat more matur~ person, one well able and willing toassume to himself a deeper devotion to prayer, a greater Impossible Mis$ion for Performersdegree of penance, a more liberal use of giving in a sin-The fact that the moderncere search for greater identification with Christ. ' church exhibitionist'does exist;'

Prayer, penance, ialmsgiving - these ar-e the' means and, is a real phenomenon, is inalways' used by God-s~ekers not as ends in themselves but" itself a sad fact. ''as the way in which men, open up their, lives' to the ,Satirical humor "devastatingly~reater presence or God. ' discloses the fault' and fables of

human hypocrisy and 'insincer­ity.

In this frank unni~sking, onewonders why the' performersseek only the glamour of thesideshow and refuse to enter themain stream of church life. Theyseem so ,busy capturing head­lines by 'their freakish actionsthat it is difficult to see howthey have any time for the real 'day-to-day work in the vine­yard.

FROM STUDIO TO CHAPEL: New Bedford's Sisters of the Resurrection areresponsible for transformation of television studio into chapel each Sundayfor the Diocese's TV Mass. First picture shows usual state of studio. Rev. ThomasJ. Harrington of New Bedford, who is currently studying canon law at Catholic

University, celebrates the Eucharist. Preparations for the Mass being offeredby Father Harrington are under the supervision of Sr. Assumpta and includepositioning of the crucifix, arranging the altar cloths, preparing the chaliceand finally lighting the candles.

Sisters of Resurrection Prepare Chapel for Television Massand it lasted for a few weeks,but it's broken a'gain."

Latest attempt to mend thehandle is being made by JosephE. Slight of New Bedford, oneof whose sons is a La Salettemissionary priest in the Phil­ippines.

'The nUlls and .Joe Slight allhave fingers crossed.

In addition to conducting theirfive-day-a-week nursery school,which now has a morning andafternoon enrollment of 70, theSisters of the Resurrection keepfinding other things that "haveto be done."

On Saturdays, two of the sis­ters teach CCD classes at St.Hedwig's Church, They devoteevery Sunday morning to creat­ing a chapel from a studio * ,;, "and, whenever something elsecomes along that needs willinghands, they invariably find timein their busy schedule to do "justa little bit mure."

Times change, Sister Leandrasays. Some of the changes shecould do without-but the mir­acle of electronics that bringsMass to shut-ins is a modern in­vention of which Sister Leandraand her four sisters in New Bed­ford thoroughly approve.

During their more than fiveyears of television preparation,and the "after" laundry work;there have been no real prob­lems with altar linens or vest­ments, Sister Leandra says. "Sofar we've been lucky, There are

; no holes yet, thank goodness."The sigh of relief is partly be- .

cause of the price of linens andvestments today.

"It will be costly to carryon this work as time goes by,nothing is inexpensive," shesays. But, despite what the pricetag may be, "I hope it will con-

'"tinue, because it does so muchgood for people who can't get'out."

The, one casualty to date isthe long handle of the paten,part of the' original furnishingsof the chapel.

"The curtains used to beclosed part way to the aHar,"she recalls, "and the paten wason a table near the curtain. One­day one of the men moved backand it fell on the floor. Thehandle broke."

Attempts to have the intricatehandle repaired were futile."People said they couldn't fixit because it was plastic," Sis­ter Leandra says.

'.'1 tried to glue it together

In the beginning, too, SiMerrecalls, "they used to make upthe priest before the Mass. Theydon't do that any more, either.I think it's just as well. Themakeup used to rub off on the'restments."

To take care of whateverpriest may arive at the studioto say the television Mass-"Wenever know who is going to becoming in until he gets there"­the nuns have three albs ready,"small, medium and large."

Sister says the nuns "usuallyput out the medium one-thenwe look at the priest when hecomes in and ask if he wants ashorter or longer one,"

and ciborium," Sister Leandraexplains. '

The "church" now has just onechasuble-"At first it was agreen on'e, because they thoughtgreen would cut the glare fromthe lights," she says professiona­ly.. "But it doesn't seem to makeany difference. Now we have ablue-white one and it seems thesame."Then Sister Leandra and Sister

Assumpta take over the chapel­making chores.

"We put the linens on the al­tar and get the pries~.'s vest­ments ready and put out themissals," Sister Leandra says.

Sometimes, she admits, "weget there late and have to hurry,but we're so used to what we'redoing now it just goes along."

The "television church" ­which goes on the air at ,tJ:45A.M. each Sunday-has storagespace at the television studio.That is where the nuns keepsuch things as altar linens andvessels and priests' vestments­"all but the things we bringhome to wash-and the chalice

The nuns "thought it over,decided it was ahother apostol­ate" and went to work.

They have been doing thetransformation act every Sun­day since.

Sister Leandra and Sister As­sumpta now are the "televisionnuns." Sister Assumpta, who ar­rived here from London threeyears ago, replaced the originalhalf of the duet, Sister MaryAndrea, who now is in Argen­tina.

WORCESTER (NC)-Assump­tion College here expects to havean entirely new curriculum,placing highest responsibility onthe student, beginning in theFall semester of 1969. '

The new curriculum is basedon an acknowledgement that in­formation is doubling every 10years, and that new disciplinesare needed in an age of automa~tion.

Father Georges Bissonnette.A.A, Assumption president, said"the traditional concept of a lib­eral arts college-to introducethe studen1t to all the disciplines-is no longer possible."

The new curriculum proposal,which allows the student maxi­mum freedom, has been evolvedthrough a series of meetings ofthe dean's council and the aca- ,demic, senate; The final draftwas made b'y a committee ,'ofseven, ,including two students,Father Bissonnette said.

FramesGarden

Easil'y'" Made LathVersatile Tool in

By Joseph and Ma1'ilyn Roderick

It sometimes amazes me how I can let simple thingsgo undone, For several years I 'have been meaning tomake some lath frames for the garden and it seems eachSpring arrives with them unmade. Nothing could be simplerthan such a frame: a rec­tangle is constructed of areasonable size (2Y2' x 3')and then laths are nailed tothe frame the width of the lathsapart. The laths may be plas­terer's laths 'which may bebought very cheaply in anylumber yard or any flat piecesof wood around the house.

I want to make a few of theseframes because they are veryuseful in the garden. They areexcellent for protecting trans­plants from too much sunlight(those I intend to make are veryprimitive and are held up by astick, for serving as a wind pro­tecti'on and for shading sun-shyplants in general.

How to UseIr' place of laths I usually use

an inverted 'bushel 'basket forlarge plants or inverted plantpots for little ones, but theselook ridiculous in a garden. Thelaths can be made to cover larg­er areas and therefore groups ofplants can be brought together.

For instance, .the first divi­sions of mums in the Spring canbe set out in a small area to beshaded by a lath rather than setout in various places in' thegarden. After the first few days,when the divisions have accli­mated themselves to their newlocation, the laths can ·be re­moved and pressed into servicesomeplace else.

Like many of my determina­tions, this one will probably goastray. I am still being kiddedabout my living Christmas tree,or rather the one I intended tobuy, in fact, swore I would buyand never bought. Eve'ry visitorwe had at Christmas asked tosee our living tree and was sur­prised to see ,a cut tree sittjngin our living room. This projectwill be different, however, if Ican just find the hammer, somenails, some 2x2's, some lathboard and a few minutes ofquiet!

In the KitchenValentine's Day comes at the

perfect time of year. The glitterand rush of Christmas have longsince ·been forgotten, colds andflu have everyone down in thedumps, and the dreary grey Jan­uary and February landscapesonly add to the prevailinggloom. The one bright spot inthis pre-Spring season is theday that we commemorate asthe feast of St: Valentine.

What a marvelous time toremember our friends and fam­ily with a little note of love andcheer! One legend that is told'about the loved saint explainswhy messages are sent' on .thatday.

The story goes that Valentineraised beautiful flowers, whichhe enjoyed giving to the chil­dren who lived nearby. WhenSt. Valentine was put in prison­for refusing to speak about theRomans' gods, these same chil­dren picked ,bouquets, tied notesto them and tossed them throughthe prison window of th'e saintthat had been so kind to them.

Even today lovers send theirgirls old-fashioned bouquetswith messages of love, thoughthey don't realize where thecustom is reported to have ori­ginated.

BUFFALO (NC)-The city ofLackawanna, a steel-producingBuffalo suburb, has sought dis­missal of a Diocese of Buffalofederal court suit charging thecity with racial bias in blockingconstruction of low' incomehousing. '

The ,diocese Ciled suit Dec, 2after the city re-zoned land thediocese sought to sell to' a Negrocivic group for fcderally subsi­dized housing.

In a brief prcsented tu F'ed­erai Court Judge John T. Cur­tin, Lackawanna' defende,d itsCity Council's Oct. 21 actionfreezing indefinitely any con­'struction of sub<;iivisions in thecity and rezoning the vacantchurch property for rccreationuse only.

It 'claims that a limited sewersystem and the lack of publicparks forced that action.

Meanwhile, howcvcr, the Fed­eral Justice Department hasfiled papers arguing that itshould ''be allowed to join thediocese in its suit. '

Calling the issue one "of gen­eral 'public importance," theJustice Department alleges ci l.yvi91ation of the 1964 and Hl6BCivH Rights Acts.

Regarding eligibility for thepermanent diaconate, BishoptJnterkoefler said "the situationwe envision primarily is ollewhere a man would be eithermarried or unmarried,' at age35, and that he would need some 'training. The' training woulnwould vary (according to) hisprevious .background."

Some candidates, he sain. a1- ,ready would have obtained acolle'ge degree or its equivalent.and these 'would go on to "per~

haps two years" of specializedtraining in doctrine, Scriptu re,the behavioral sciences ,andother fields related to thei I'

future pastoral work.Others, he said, would be

,areas of the United, ,States­principally in those areas wherethe, Church is not reaching thecommunity."

Says Restoration' ofDioconate Gradual

NEW YORK (NC)~Thechair­man of the U..S. Bishpps' Com­mittee for the Restoration of thePermanent Diaconate I said in aradio interview here l1e!believesthe establishment of Ithe diac­onate in the United States willbe a steady gradual tnovement.

It will develop more fully, hesaid, when mature laymen be­come aware of its privileges andthe services they can ~ender theChurch through it.

'Bishop Ernest L. Un'terkoeflerof Charleston, S.C., rioted thatin the earliest days of theChurch, the deacon vyas "con-

. cerned with matters of charity-taking care of orphans, wid­ows, the poor. This was, his prin-

• cipal duty." He added that lateron deacons assumed 'liturgicalfunctions. ,.

The bishop said the, office ofpermanent deacon flourished upto the early Middle Ages "andthen abuses crept in: and theChurch thought it wise to dis­cont,inue the office." ~

Asked why it was decided atthe Second Vatican Council torestore the diaconate; Bishop'

, Unterkoefler replied: "The Sec­ond Vatican Council, realizedthat in the renewal an'd reformof.......the Church the role of thedeacon was going to be 'an im- .portant one." 'I

"In Vatican II," he cbntinued, 'there' was "a distribv.tion ofroles in the liturgy, 'as we haveseen with the lector, the cantorand the commentator, (also) thedistribution of roles between thecelebrant and the community;and so, the deacon began to takehis primary role again in themind of the Church-in ,the lit­urgy of the word, and in the lit­urgy of the Eucharist." I

Deacon's Roles t

He added: "It became clear,also, that in missionary areas ofthe world there were not suffi­cient numbers of' priest~, (nor)sufficient numbers of' peoplewho- could serve the Church aswould a deacon in his' variousresponsibilities and functions incarrying on the life' of theChurch."

Bishop Unterkoefler said thecouncil gave the deacon theseroles: "He was to 'assist thebishop and the priests, .liturgi­cally, in his proper' role as onewho would assist in the Sacri­fice of the Mass; that h~ wouldbe the custodian of th.e HolyEucharist; that he would,preach,baptize, be gi ven the privilege'of being the official witness atmarriages; that he would ,be per-

, mitted, to bury the dead outside\ of, the Mass; that ,he Wbuld be

able to preside over a commu­nity of the faithful if priestswere not available-for instance,in a missionary area." I

The bishop also. said the dea­con would 'be empowe'red tocarryon other functioI).S thatmight be considered part of thepriestly life - personal spiritualguidance and marriage counsel-ing. ' ,

Trustworthy, StableHe stated that ·the bishops of

the Unitea States "voted by avast majority for the restorationof the permanent diaconate."

WASHINGTON (NC) - Anapostolate of like to like de­scribes best the training centerfor deacons planned for theWashington and Baltimore area,Auxiliary Bishop John S. Spenceof Washington said here. BishopSpence is a member of the U. S.bishops commission on the per­manent diaconate.

"We have discussed the pro­gram outlined by the JosephiteFathers with representatives ofthe Black Catholic Clergy Cau­cus," he said. "They do not wantthis to be a 'black program' butone for all minority groups-theSpanish-speaking, the AmericanIndians, the poor whites, etc."

Bishop Spence said that thefour training centers planned­at St. John's University, College­ville, Minn.; Sacred Heart Sem­inary, Detroit; SS. Cyril andMethodius Seminary, OrchardLake, Mich.; and the Josephiteprogram in Washington-will bepilot programs and will be stud­ied by other dioceses interestedin similar ones.

They will be re-evaluated bythe bishops' commission fromtime to time as the programscontinue.

Prelates InterestedBishop Spence noted that

Bishop Ernest L. Unterkoefler ofCharleston, S.C., chairman of thebishops' commission on the diac­onate, had reported at a Januarymeeting that by then 32 bishops,including Patrick Cardinal

. O'Boyle of Washington andLawrence Cardinal Shehan ofBaltimore, had expressed inter­est in the permanent diaconate.

The Washington program wouldbe an inner city apostolate, Bish­op Spence said, designed primar­ily for the inner city and forthose from the inner city. Ifthere is a sufficient number ofcandidates, it i,s hoped that theprogram in Washington willstart this September.

He also said that a brochureabout the permanent diaconateand the training program is be- .ing prepared. This will be madeavailable for distribution in

Consider MergerPian for Schools

BENTON HARBOR (NC)The merger of St. John andSt. Joseph Catholic schools herein' Michigan was proposed t9parents and other interestedparishioners at a meeting calledby the Catholic Area Board ofEducation. The proposed mergerwas dted as the best way ofsolving the schools' financialproblems.

The proposal resulted from asurvey of the two schools madeby a team of educators from theUniversity of Michiagn Bureauof School Services. The survey\\ as authorized by the boar.ds ofeducation of the three parishesinvolved, St. John and St. Ber­nard parishes, Benton Harbor,and St. Joseph parish, St. Jo­seph.

Currently emolling 844 stu­dents in the elementary grades,ll1d 462 in the 'high schools, thetwo schools, beset by steadilymounting operating costs, mustfind a solution before the 1969­70 school year begins.

RUTLAND (NC) - Vermont'sEducational Building Authority(VEBA), which last Rall had ·theway cleared by the VermontSupreme Court to help privateschools with major construction,has again been stalled by courtproceedings.

The latest development, whichagain involves the College of St.Joseph the Provider, could havenational implications.

The Vermont Supreme Courtruled last October thC;lt VEBAcould constitutionally help thebuilding program at the Collegeof S1. Joseph, because the col­lege was not connected officiallywith the Catholic Church inVermont.

VEBA proposes to put up theconstruction capital, then havethe colleges and institutions buyihe buildings through a lease­purchase arrangement.

Favorable RulingSt. Joseph's had applied for a

loan several years ago, but be­cause it was a religious school,VEBA filed suit to test its ownright in the situation. Court pro­ceedings took well over a year,and S1. Joseph's had to go else­where for financing. However,when the favorable Vermontcourt ruling came, St. Joseph'sreapplied for a loan.

By reapplying S1. Joseph'sopened the door for a possibleU. S. Supreme Court review ofthe case. Bond counsels re­quested the constitutionality bereviewed by the Supreme Courtbefore any bonds were issued.

In the latest move, St. Joseph'sopposed the appeal to the Su­preme Court. .

The VEBA appeal draws intoquestion the constitutionality ofthe National Higher EducationFacilities Act of 1963, underwhich church-related' institu­tions have received federal aidfor education.

.Just as the marriage grows stronger' as the husband and

wife learn the art of self-sacrifice, so, too, will our relationshipwith Christ deepen as we learn to deny ourselves on beha'lfof others. This is what Christianity is all about. '

The poet of the Old Testament, Ecclesiastes, has said: "Thereis a time for everything under ·heaven." The season of Lentseems to be the perfect time for us to reflect on the meaningand place of sacrifice in our lives.

IIA ,Time To Reflect · · · II

Many of our brother Christians in mission lands live alife' 0'£ sacrifice the whale year round. The spirit of penance,seems. to be with them constantly. We are joined with these peoplein the br<ltherhood of man. We are joined, also, through the mys­tery of God's grace. And we are joined to them most especiallywhen' we sacrifice on theirb.ehalf. .. .

This thought alone ought to insure us of the importanceof Lent as a season' devoted to penance. It ought to convince

'us ,that' we .are doing something' truly worthwhile when 'wesacrifice for others.

As we ponder these thoughts, let us not forget those in themission lands who call to us for help. Let us use this time todraw closer to Christ and to our fellowman, remembering thatwhen we give of ou,rselves and our possessions then we become­more and ·more like, Him, •.whogave' everything for others. '

Have you ever wondered why the Church has devoted awhole season ,to penance? Why, when personall fulfillment andindividual growth are today's catchwords, does She continue tourge IUS to sacrifice for 'others? Have you wondered' why theChurch has not done away with Lent altogether?

The answer, I think, is simply. t~is, Sacrifice is basic toour religion. Just as it is basic to any relationship. For example,a marriage that is not grounded on mutual consideration­

. which entails much sacrifice - will not last. In the same way,our sacrifice binds us to Christ, and it binds us to, those wehelp ,by our sacrifices.

more by example a selfish world, was won for Christ. Ageneration of saintly apostles grew up in every Christianland, to bring the good tidings to others. The Faith wastoo good to keep. God is Good. Goodness is outgoing. Good­ness leads back to God, through Christ Our Lord.

We are nothing: without a living faith. St. Pius Xth.,was' wont to say: "I: am a poor man and Christ is every­thing." Born in baptism, we grow strong through thesacraments. We become Christophel's, b~arers of' Christ.One way or another we witness before the world to thefaith that is in us.' Happy indeed, if we can say in ,allhonesty: "Be ye imitators of me, as I am of Christ." "Ilive now, not I, but Christ lives in me."

What an identity! What a happy calling! To live in an'exalted atmosphere of God's Presence, and to bring Himinto all our associations. So many about us live lonelylives, especially as ~amily and, friends pass on. But we,commit them to, the infinite love of God, and in· that samelove we find them, aJl.d even replace them, by .being friends,with thousands presently unknown, but whose salvationmay be waiting on ;our interest, and prayer. Lent is atime for us to be outgoing. The priest an~ religiou$ mightwell say: "Woe betide me, if I fail to preach the Gospel".The layman can take to himself assurance based on Chri,st'swork: ."Whatsoever you do for one of these, you do forMe." In other words wherever we bring Our Lord, we findhim in the eyes, on the'lips and in the hearts of .our neigh-bors. ' I

But unfortunately; :this is not everyman's e:x;perience.'lOne might say it is not 'complicated enough .'to suit' those. with a passion for change. Our age is restless, torment'edby deep dissatisfactions. Perhaps thewo'rst feature is anup.willingness to be guided. "Authority'" and "obedience"are bad words. And ,si:p.ce the supernatural does demandreverent hearing it is likely to be rejected. The good oldpragmatic rule that:, '''seeing is' believing" has c.urrencywitJ'l impatient stude,nts. They've got to be shown. Theyappear to thrive on dissent. Many of them profess an in­terest in social ills of society, but they have thus farfailed to identify with efforts at a cure.

It seems our trol,lbles stem from a too great pre-occu­pation' with self. Th~t's identity, all right. It's the leastcommon multiple. And it will take superhuman effort toget it up to level of ,usefulness to society. Illustrative ofthis, is the recent highly publicized dissent by the "ex­perts", to the Holy Father's encyclical on Tmnsmission ofLife. Even before the text was read and digested, therewas a holy rivalry in, condemning it. Sensitive consciencesinsisted on being infallible, while the great body of Chris­tendom agreed that Pope Paul was simply registering afact: "Divine Laws do not change". So if we are to beguided by conscience; let it be a well-informed, and im-partial one. I

Another feature of our restless age is the oft repeatedconcern for the "secular city". St. Augustine had suchconcern in the Fifth century. He wrote a book called: TheCity of God. It presented his diagnosis- of the evil in the

.secular city, and indiCated the cure in the City of God.Nowadays, men talk of finding Christ in the ghetto. PleaseGod, they may find themselves, first. But assuredly notif contacts with the le,ss fortunate inspires only the reflec­tion: "Thank God" I'm not as the rest of men."· If ouridentity is to <t~velop, we can't be wrapped up solely inself. We've got to reach out. We must consent to the factthat we are our brother's keeper.

If a lot of problems stem back to self and secularism,and they do, the cause is not lost. What 'we need is whatLent traditionally provides. We need, spirituality: thethought of God. We need the sense of' values, that· OurLord expressed in the temptations on the Mount. We willhear of it next Sunday. He was challenged by choices thatlie before us all. The' appetite of the body, the quest ofglory, the love of power. His response was brief but de­cisive. "Not by bread alone does man live~" "The Lord thy

.God shalt thou. aqore; and Him only shalt thou serye."This is the' rule of Faith, for us. Our Lord came to

show us the way to life, love, and a beginning of ,blisshere. He gave us an example. He called us to foHow him.He promised to be with us all days. He wants nothingmore than, to be one with us. All these facts should en­courage us in the choices we make each day. Definitely,we ought to obey God! rather than men." We ought' to beruled by Faith rather, than sight." , ' ,

Hoping and prayi,ng that we all walk forward to acloser union with God that cannot fail to, make us instru­ments of His peace, I re~ain,

See Adopts NewLiturgical Rules

MILWAUKEE (NC) - Newliturgical regulations regardingreception of Communion underboth species, Latin Masses, anduse of white vestments for fu­neral Masses have been ap­proved by Archbishop WilliamE. Cousins of Milwaukee onrecommendation of the archdio­cesan liturgical commission.

In the Milwaukee archdiocesereception under both species hasbeen permitted by intinction­dipping the Host into the Blood.With the new regulation, drink­ing directly from the chalice maynow be allowed" provided thereis due respect for the BlessedSacrament." The chalice methodwould be particulanly applicableto nuptial Masses, the regula­tions said.

T.he regulations stipulate thatpastoral judgment is to 9ictatcwhich method of receiving Com­munion under both species is tobe employed on a given occasion.

As to Latin Masses, permissionfor public Masses said or sungin Latin in parish churches andchapels has been granted undertwo conditions: that the LatinMass is not imposed upon theparish merely for the sake ofpreserving Latin or at the whimof an individual priest, and thatfull participation in the liturgyby the laity be observed.

Scriptual readings and theprayer of the faithful, however,are to continue to be in English.

Permission for the Latin Massis in response by interested per­f;ons, such as Una Voce, an in­ternational organization repre­sented in Milwaukee, who areseeking preservation of Latin inthe liturgy, Father Joseph A.Strenski, chairman of the litur­gical commission said.

Community SpiritIn evaluating the workshop,

most of the teens praised it forits spirit of community. Anopenness and sensitivity toothers' needs prevailed and thisaspect appealed ,to the youngadults. The student leaders feltthat they had received a greatdeal from this workshop, espe­cially in the. better understand­ing of group dynamics.

At the close of the sessionthey felt more capable and readyto go back to their individualgroups and "unite their humanlife in all its dimensions withthe fulness of their Christianfaith."

Communications and di'aloguewere the topics for Saturdayevening's conference. Sister usedan example of role-playing inorder to Hluslrate her point. Onecouple enacted a situation inw,hich there was a dialogue forthe sake of making a good firstimpression while the secondcouple acted as their alter egosand said what they reallythought.. The evening's spiritualactiv­ity was again a folk Mass and aninformal talent show followed.

Individual Needs .Sunday's conference was a

wrap-up session. Previous talksand discussions were reviewedand a discussion on individualneeds followed. Again, an ob­server evaluated the groupprocess and the roles of theleader and members. Recorderswere selected and each of thesegave a summary of what tr<!ns­pired in his group. Sister Kath­leen later developed the aspectof tension within a group andhow to cope with it.

The last day's activitiesreached a climax at the Eucha­ristic Banquet which was cele­brated in the lounge. The com­munity spirit was then carriedover to the dining area for thefinal meal. .

Publication Sees'War of ReligionIn No. Ireland

VATICAN CITY (NC)­"A true and proper war ofreligion" has developed inNorthern Ireland, whereriots have occurred becauseCatholics are being deprived oftheir basic civil rights, com­mented L'Osservatore Romano,Vatican City daily.

In an editorIal, the newspapersaid: "Londonderry is ravagedby clashes which remind one,not so much of street brawls,but rather of a true and properwar of religion."

The newspaper said the newscannot be reported without a"sense of profound sorrow."

I,t said that in the six countiesof Northern Ireland, "Catholicsare in a condition of inferioritywhich makes them second andthird class citizens."

"Only householders and own­ers of businesses have electoralrights. They can have a vote forevery house and business theypossess.

"Thus a minority of persons,which in past centuries suc­ceeded in imposing on Catholicsa proletarian condition, pre­serves Hs privileges and doesnot seem prepared to renouncethem."

L'Osservators Romano saidNorthern Ireland's government,and its municipal and regionaladministrations, remain underProtestant control. It said thatcountry's "responsible politi­cians" know that such a situa­tion is "untenable."

"The grave Londonderry inci­dents constitute a salient episodeof agitations and disorderswhich have been going on fora long time," the article said.

The conflicts and bloodshedcause profound sorrow not onlybecause victims belong to "oursame faith," but also because theincidents "gravely injure" thebasic rights of man, L'Osserva­tore Romano commented.

"These rights are recognizedby everyone but are trampledun by many. The honor of acountry, which under other as­pects has at,tained such civilprogress, does not gain muchfrom such violence. It is, there­fore, ,to be hoped that good will,on both sides, may be strongerthan all obstacles."

counterparts in the wQite 'com­munity-who are attempting topooh-pooh the ADL ,report andsimilar surveys of the extent ofblack anti-Semitism are beingincredibly insensitive to thelessons of history.

They seem to have forgotten,v"ery conveniently, that time'after time in the course of his-

~tory,' going back for many cen­turies and, coming up to thepresent moment, anti-Semitismhas resulted in horrible crimesagainst the Jewish people andhas been the source of muchgreater suffering, at some peri­ods (e':g., during the Hitler era)than anything that has beenperpetrated on black Americansby the white majority, horribleas the plight of the black manhas been' in the United States forso many decades.

The 'Jewish authors andsponsors of these surveys haveevery reason, then, in the lightof past experience to be deeplyconcerned about anti-Semitism,in all its many forms and what­ever its source, and have reason,moreover, to ,be doubly con­cerned when black anti-Semi­tism, instead of being faced upto very honestly, is cynicallyrationalized or made light of byblack militants. -

Measure of BlameNo segment of the white com­

munity in the United States, in­cluding the Jewish segment, iswithout its own full measure ofblame f9r the terrible injusticeswhich white racism has inflictedand is still inflicting on theblack people of ,this country.

Relatively speaking, however,the Jewish community, by andlarge, can legitimately claim to,have done at least as much andprobably more than any otherethnic~ or religious group toatone for the 'past and to ad­vance the ca4se of equal justiceand equal opportunity for blackAmericans.

Mr. Dore Schary, president ofADL, has pledged that the mem­bers of his organization willcontinue their work in this area,but has also made it clear that"we will not folerate ,the anti­Semitism which we now seebefore us."

This kind of plain talk willinfuriate some of the militants,but it has" to 'be said, and thesooner" it' gets through to themilitants-and to the rest of usas well-the better it will befor all concerned. .

Two StandardsThis is a good (I' mean, very

bad) example of the kirid of.anti-Semitism which, 'quite un­derstandably,' is causing somuch concern to the leaders ofADL and other Jewish' organi­zations. To condone it or', tomake light of it for fear of" of­fending the sensibilities of the"black militants would be an in-

"I've never been so moved in all my life," said Bill

by a black student against asoftly sung background of "WeShall Overcome."

Sister Teresita, S.U.S.C., headof the art department at BishopCassidy High School, Taunton,directed a session aimed at in­creasing awareness of nature.She showed slides of sea ands'hore scenes and led studentsinto "really looking" at theworld around them and seeingthe beauty of ordinary objects.

For many the impact of theweekend came in ,their realiza­tion of what a Christian com­munity could be. "We sharedall weekend," said one girl.Sharing ranged from such casualitems as borrowed skates to anunfolding of personalities andproblems. One boy was an un­believer, said students. At theend of the weekend he went to afriend. "Teach me to pray," hesaid.

One service was conducted indarkness, except for the lightof two candles and a spotligMtrained on a crucifix. In thissetting the students listened toa reading of a children's 'story,"The Velveteen Rabbit."

"Everyone was soclose," said Elaine Bleau, BCCfreshman. "And it made memore sensitive to people at homeand work, not just those at theweekend."

Conference CenterThe Awareness Weekend was

conducted at Aldersgate, a con­ference center in North Scituate,R.I., operated by the MethodistChurch of Southeastern New En­gland. Aldersgate, said FatherWilson, is run by Mr. and Mrs.Ralph Pace.

'Confusion' HurtsRetreat Movement

SAN ANTONIO (NC) - Thenational moderator of the lay­men's retreat movement attrib­uted "confusion .in the Church"as the prime cause for decline inattendance at retreats and mis­sions throughout the nation.

Father Nicholas Tanaskovic,O.M.I., rector of St. Louis cathe­dral, New Orleans, told an an­nual meeting of some 200 re­treat officials here: "If everthere was a need for retreathouses, we need them now inthis age of renewal."

As a result of renewal, he said,many elements of the Church arein . "tantrums" which havebrought "sad times" and "darkdays." Father Tanaskovic saidrenewal is important and theChurch readily admits the neces­si ty of progress. He stressed theproper definition of renewal isto "restore vigor and freshness,"not to discard everything that isold. He said renewal should be"judicious, selective and doneprudently" in an orderly andcalm way.

Support Buffa10Diocese ActionIn' Land Case

BUFFALO (NC)-Prot­estant leaders here havegone on record supportingBishop James A. McNulty'sefforts to sell land in the sub­urban city of Lackawanna forminority housing.

This action was taken by theprogram ·board of the Buffaloand Erie County Council ofChurches. The program boardis the top ruling unit of thecouncil ·between Its annual gen­eral assemblies. The Council ofChurches includes 226 congre­gations of Protestant, Polish Na­tional Catholic and Eastern Or­thodox faiths.

Lackawanna last October re­zoned Buffalo diocesan land forrecreation use only after thediocese announced its plans tosell the parcel, located in a pre­dominantly white area, to sev­eral Negro groups. In November,the city condemned land for a ..multi-purpose city recreationcenter, claiming that poor sewerfacilities precluded housing de­velopment there.

Court ActionThe diocese subsequently

filed suit in federal court tohalt the condemnation proceed­ings on the grounds that !t is il­legal to exclude a person fromseeking the benefits of a federalprogram-in this case a federalhousing project-under the 1964Civil Rights Act. Court action isstill pending.

The Council's program boardagreed with the diocese, "re­spectfully remind(ing) Lacka­wanna civic leadership and cit­izenry that both the moral lawof our common Christian faithand the law of our land makeunlawful any action whicheither purposely or inadver­tently restricts persons frommaking use of federal programsby reason of race, religion ornational origin."

The board also suggested itschurch members "give this issueserious study," and offered theBuffalo diocese "our full sup-port." '

BOSTON (NC) - Boston'sRichard Cardinal Cushing. isstriving to save a Catholicchurch which has a liquor storein its lobby.

He made it clear that his con­cern is saving the church-notthe liquor store.

Involved is the chapel of OurLady of the Railways, located inthe old South Station railroadterminal here., The station ap­pears doomed under a plan forrazing the terminal to, make wayfor a huge commercial complex.

The chapel, opened in 1955,was once a movie theater. It isone of a chain of chapels thecardinal established in the Bos­ton area at airports, shoppingcenters, the waterfront and in

. downtown shopping districts.The chapels yearly attract thou­sands of worshippers for Masses

. and .other services. They are '.staffed on a voluntary basis bypriests from nearby parishes.

The cardinal saw the need forthe South Station chapel in 1954when railroad passenger ,trafficwas heavy-but today the traf­fic has diminished. greatly. Car­dinal Cushing said he would liketo locate the chapel in anotherpart of the station buildingwhile ·the demolition is in prog­ress until he is able to find apermanent spot for the church.

nation, disclosing the si tua liolland the intended' blockade. \

The blockade went iflto effecton Wednesday, October 24, withthe word that Soviet ships werestill coming steadily on ,towardCuba. But at 10:25 A.M. it waslearned that the 20 Russial1~hips closest to the barrier hadstopped and some had turnedaround.

. 'one Russian ship, a tanker,was continuing on course, :andwas shadowed but not molested.

The first ship to be stopped,on Friday, October, 26, was thePanamanian-owned Marucla. Thechoice of this ship' showed thatthe United States meant busi­ness, but there was no directaffront to :the U:S ..S.R., since theMarucla was not Soviet-owned.

By this time, a series of ex-,changes between the Presidentand Khrushchev'" was takingplace'. Their letie'rs are repro­duced in the section on docu­ments. At, firsf, Khrushchev de­nied the presence of Soviet ,bal­listic missiles in Cuba, and re­fused to recognize the quaran­tine. He blustered and threat-ened. J

The President replied firmlybut without heat, and he' was es­pecially' careful' not to backKhrushchev into a corner:

It was on Friday, October 26,that there came, from Khrush­chev the famous letter whichwas unmistakably written byhim, lengthy and .emotiona1. Henow admitted the presence ofthe missiles in Cluba,' and pro­posed to withdraw or destroythem on condition that the Pres'­ident would agree to lift theblockade and promise no inva­sion of Cuba.

The optimism occasioned bythis message was dashed by thereception on Saturday, October27, of a quite different sort ofletter from Khrushchev, moreformal and ominous, agreeing tothe removal of Soviet missilesfrom Cuba if American missileswere. removed from Turkey.Then began what Robert Ken­nedy calls the worst 24 hours ofthe 13 days.

The conferees agreed on airstrikes at the missile sites, butthe President decided to wait. A'way to handle the two Khrush­chev letters was devised: Therewould be a reply to' the first,agreeing to it, and ,the secondwould, be simply ignored. Thiswas done. .

On Sunday, October 28, the'Soviets endorsed ,the' arrange­ment to which the Uriited States

. had agreed. The crisis was over.

Value of ReadingAmong the conclusions drawn

by Robert Ken'nedy 'from thebruising experience are these:that time and study are neededif crisis is to oe wisely and suc­cessfully met; that the Presidentmust be presented with morethan' one opinion; that the ex­perts of different departmentsof government should partici­pate in discussions, and that -thedepartment representatives notbe confined to the top men; thatit is vital, in a crunch, to haveallies and friends (in this in­stance, the Latin American na­tiori~ and Western Europe.); andthat, facing "an adversary, it is

Y. 10003.$5.50). Althoughone .may wishthat the, accounthad been fuller,what we .areactually givenis by rio' meanswithout solidworth. It is aclose-up on a c~itical momentin history, through the eyes ofa participant second, in impor­tance, and in access to Lnforma­tion, only to the President him- ,self. _ ,

Some of its judgments, es­pecially those on the Americanmilitary, will be disputed, and

'indeed hotly contradicted" butto the non-expert at least it ap­pears to be in general a judi­cious assessment by a' cool mind.

Summons CabinetThe chronology of events be­

gins with a summons to theWhite House on Tuesday morn­ing, October 16, 1962., The Pres­ident told his brother that a U-2plane had just completed' a pho­tographic mission over Cuba, theresults of which convincedAmerican intelligence that So­viet surface-to-surface ballisticweapons were beipg 'placedthere.

A few weeks earlier, SovietAmbassador Dobrynin .had toldRobert Kennedy o.f ChairmanKhrushchev's wish to have th~

President assured that no suchweapons were being, or wouldbe set up in Cuba. ,

A week later, in re~ponse to apublic warning by the President,Moscow disclaimed any such'fact or intention. A 'personalmessage from Khrushchev to thePresident was in precisely thesame sense.

But now, what had been de­nied was proved true. HowWQuld the United St~tes react?This was the problem set by thePresident to the group which as­sembled in the Cabinet Roomon October 16 and would con­tinue to meet, day 'and night,until the crisis passed.

Opposes Air StrikesOne course sug'gest,ed was air

strikes at the missile sites. Thesewould probably have to be fol­lowed up 'by a massive invasionof Cuba. The invasion' would en­tail a large number of casualties,and would probably lead to in­calculable escalation.'

Robert Kennedy opposed th'eair strikes, saying, that theUnited States' could 'not main-'tain its moral position at homeand before the .world, should itimplement su~h,a decision.

The idea of a sea blockadewas strongly advocated by Sec­reta,ry McNamara, althoughthere was danger, that the Rus­sians would retaliate with ablockade of West Berlin. BySaturday, October 20, the Pres­ident had decided on the block­ade.

The following Monday night,October 22, he addressed the

Kennedy was the chief char­acter in little Holy Family'~

~torybo9k basketball season.The 6-2 senior, considered

one of the best shooters in thehigh school' ranks, teamed withSteve Lawless to spark theBlue Wave to Catholic and StateC championships and eventuallyon to the All-State finals.

Tongue-wagging- athletic di­rectors from colleges throughoutthe country drooled in anticipa­tion of landing the sharpshoot­ing guard.

Promoted to VarsityShortly after the basketball

season, Kennedy made his de­cision. The, following Septemberhe enrolled in Stonehill College.

As a freshman, Dennis wasone of the Chietains' leadingscorers in what was to be amost successful season.

This year, as a sophomore,the Acushnet resident was pro­moted to the varsity, althoughhis role has been one of a rc­erve. •

Kennedy has had the misfor­tune of playing behind twoveteran backcourt standouts.Art Horan has been one of theteam's leading scorers whileMark Caverly is considered thebest defensive player on theStonehill roster,

Valuable ContributionDespite the situation, Dennis

has' displayed excellent basket­ball savy when called upon inkey situations.

Head Coach George Blaneythinks highly of the ex-HolyFamily ace and is looking forKennedy to "develop into a solidcollege basketball player."

"I'm sure you can understandthe situation Dennis is in," saidBlaney, "but I'm convinced he'llmake a valuable contribution tothe team before he graduates."

Kennedy has already made avaluable contribution to theclassroom.

As a freshman he was a dean'slist student majoring in Englishand he continues on a similarpath this year.

member of the national honorsociety while at Holy Familyand was a member of the BlueWave's debating team. As asophomore, he was one of fivestudents to represent the Cath­olic Diocese of Fall River inthe National Catholic Forensic

IN THE DIOCESE

The eventual winners of theNarragansett League and Cape­way Conference will automat-.ically gain a tourney berth inthe Class C bracket. Unlike theState baseball tournament whenweather' and' scheduling becomeproblems, all league championsand co-champions recognized bythe Massachusetts SecondarySchool Principals Associationqualify for tourney play re­gardless of winning percentage.

Barring an upset of majorproportion this means that bothCase High of Swansea and HolyFamily High of New Bedfordwill represent the Narry.

Coach Leo Miller's Nausetcombine is still engaged in aneck-and-neck race with Har­wich for Cape and IslandLeague laurels but loop follow­ers prognosticate that the Re­gionals are too strong for theHarwichmen. Like Durfee. Mil­ler's Cape contingent is rapidlyestablishing itself as one of theperennial Class D powers. Fol­lowers of small school competi­tion rate Nauset and Dover ofSherborne of the Tri-ValleyConference as the pre-tourneyfavorites in their division.

istered. by the well-drilledSwansea combine.

With Case and Holy Familyrepresenting the area in tourney

• play it is not too improbable forenthusiasts to predict anothertitle for teams from this sectionof the Commonwealth.

As the cheerleaders say "If':' ':' ,;, can't do it then ~,,;, ,;, can!"Accordingly, if Holy Family andCase can't do it then maybe theCapeway Conference can sendthe Class C champion.

In all likelihood, the Confer­ence will not decide its titlistbefore the season ends nextweek. There is an outside chancethat the race could end in athree-way deadlock amongDennis-Yarmouth-current lead-,er, Dartmouth and Fairhaven.

If there is a tie for the crown,then the teams involved will, ofcourse, qualify for the tourney,but if one club wins outright itmay well be the loop's only rep­resentative. Dartmouth and Fair­haven both must win the cham­pionship in order to qualifywhile Dennis-Yarmouth needsonly one more win to finishabove the 70 per cent mark, thequalifying figure..

1n spite of the eventual out­come of the respective racesSoutheastern Massachusetts willbe well represented in Class A.C and D.
